Today is the second round of our monthly blog ring, known as the Exhibit Project!  To see last month’s post, click here!  This month’s theme is “together,” so what better topic to write about than Mother’s Day…?

As my second-ever Mother’s Day (as a mom) approaches, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what it means to be a mom to Dylan.  But it’s not an easy thing to put into words…

When I was a little girl I remember going to visit the Grand Canyon with my family.  And throughout the trip to the canyon I kept asking my dad to describe to me how big it would be.  He struggled to put it into words.  And then he finally turned around and looked at me and said “Close your eyes.  [I closed my eyes] Now, think of the biggest thing your mind could ever imagine.  Do you see it in your head?  [I nodded, imagining the desert where we rode our dirtbikes that seemed never-ending] A HUGE canyon bigger than our entire town, bigger than any mountain you have ever seen.  Make it stretch to the ends of your mind.”  And when I told him I was imaging it he said “OK…good.  Now multiple it by 1,000 and you just might start to have an idea of how big the Grand Canyon is.”  And for some reason, that conversation has stuck with me all these years.  Because you know what?  He was right.  I never could have imagined how big the Grand Canyon would be.  Even when I saw it with my own two eyes, it was hard for my mind to comprehend its endless endless beauty as it stretched across the horizon.  And that’s how it feels to be a mom.  It’s bigger and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined…

I can’t believe it’s been 18 months since this happened…

And Happy Mother’s Day to our beautiful moms on this awesome day…..
